Can't upload pics after patching exploit (functions_gallery_imageedit)

Swamper · January 16th, 2008, 05:08 PM

I have a client running vBGallery 2.0 -- patched the file as described and now whenever I try to upload a pic I get:

"No Image specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

When I choose to upload it from a directory on the server it then puts an entry in the database - but - no image comes up when clicked -- doesn't even bother to copy it over to the proper dir so there's the reason.

gallery/files is chmodded -R 777 -- this all worked fine before patching that file, not sure what the issue is - I'm stumped!

Have 2 errors in the error log:

Quote:

File does not exist: /var/www/vhosts/foo.com/httpdocs/forum/gallery/foo, referer: http://www.foo.com/forum/gallery/upload.php

script '/var/www/vhosts/foo.com/httpdocs/forum/gallery/cron.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: http://www.foo.com/forum/gallery/upload.php

Looks like a path issue but everything seems correct in the settings. Worth noting: the first error is a directory present in /forum -- why is it looking for it in /forum/gallery ? Same goes for cron.php

Help! thanks

I'm having the same issue on my install - when a user tries to upload they get the same message

I was doing testing w/ non alphanumeric characters and the 1st revision of the code wiped every thing out of the file name. ".jpg" and saved.

- Now I added a failsafe, if file is totally striped of the name generate one with md5().

- also updated more filenames to ban.

Let me know.

Nope - that didn't help..

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Still get the "No image specified error:

Same problem happening here even after the above fix....

Ok I logged in.
- your gallery/files folder has no ownership.
- owner: (?) they end to be owned by your login username.

I could not chmod 777 with my ftp client: Error-> no permission..

You will need to do this in CPanel or SSH.
-----------------------------

There was another member that did a command line gzip site backup/restore and sent it to the new server.. the problem is.. he was logged in as root.. so all permissions got set to "root"

Once the ownership of the files/folders were change to the current user logged in then chmod all other operations were ok.

I checked my directory permissions and they are correct - still having issue...

I had to make sure all directories in gallery/files were chmodded 777 - then it worked for me.

Thanks Zachariah.

Zachariah - just saw you uploaded an image...

I'll run a few tests and let you know if all is OK; thanks.

maniac · January 22nd, 2008, 11:21 AM

I ran a few tests and only admins can upload...

Gallery was running smoothly until the patch - I checked all permissions and nothing has changed.

WHen regular members try to upload thy get the error message...

stupid question.. is this issue fixed now? if yes.. was it the stripos function? (that has to be outside all functions to work.. so that fix is mandatory anyway - but only for php versions lower that 5.0x)
